People who are proud of being part of "the official fan club" or "the big fan club" are pathetic. Like dude, you are not any more representative of the community or the original work itself just because you are a self-important Karen.
Like sure, be a fan. Be part of a club. But like... you are still just a person who is a fan of something, you're not Jesus Christ, you don't own the thing.
People like this like to pretend they are somehow big names and a big deal because they attached to someone else's creative work.

This disturbs me about fan culture. How many things have we seen when certain "important in fandom" types bullied others, abused them, scammed, started witchhunts because of petty reasons, etc.? This is the nerd version of the typical movie main cheerleader bitch.
